the day this happened i was out flying and heard the mayday call over the air.
i was working around other helicopters and using the numbers on the radio. the mayday call came out over the numbers! not on a monitored frequency. second it was a male voice screaming through the mic and only two bits of info were clear. that was MAYDAY 3 times. and in his words.
WERE GOING DOWN! , WERE GOIN IN HARD! MAY DAY 3 times
then the transmition stopped
the poor lass obviously had her hands full dealing with the situation to do any thing else.
i hear a month later i heard that she flew once more then left the industrie and went back to her old job.
the dream died for her which was sad to hear.
